spalted olive

While staying with the Twelve Tribes community at Morning Star Ranch i carved a few more spoons. I was not able to get pictures of all of them. Here is the most recent one i finished as a gift for my new frind and 'brother to be' Charutz. It is made from one of the pieces of olive wood i got at Spreadwing Farm in the Capay Valley of Northern CA. I chose it for the spalting and boy did it prove beautiful! It is a hefty and dignified spoon for a strong and wise man.
